Bathroom fitting in Tile Hill

What should you know before starting in Tile Hill?

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Tile Hill, building control is provided by Coventry City Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Combi boilers and unvented cylinders usually support a good mixer shower without a pump.
Moving the toilet is the hardest change, because its waste pipe needs a direct route and fall to the soil stack.
Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.

Which options suit homes in Tile Hill?

Bath with shower over

Still the most practical layout for many family bathrooms, especially with young children. A shower over the bath needs a fixed glass screen, a well-sealed bath and tiling or panelling to full height. Choosing between a mixer shower and an electric shower depends on your boiler and water pressure, which we test at the survey.

Walk-in shower instead of a bath

Replacing the bath with a large low-profile tray and a glass panel makes the room feel bigger and is easier to step into. The waste needs a suitable fall, which can be tricky on timber floors, so the tray position and height are planned carefully. It's worth thinking about whether you'll want a bath when you sell.

Before you book in Tile Hill

Should I choose a mixer shower or an electric shower?

It depends on your hot water system and water pressure. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder usually gives a good mixer shower. Low-pressure gravity systems may need a pump, or an electric shower may be simpler, though that needs a dedicated circuit, which is notifiable work. We test pressure and flow at the survey and recommend what will actually perform.

Which postcodes in Tile Hill do you work in?

We cover CV4 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Tile Hill, neighbouring Allesley and Earlsdon are covered too.

How do I get ready for the bathroom fitters?

Clear the bathroom completely, including the cabinets and the airing cupboard if it's in the room. Make space on the landing or in a spare room for deliveries. Decide on things like towel radiator size and mirror position before first fix, because cables and pipes are placed early. Let us know about parking and access for the skip or waste.

Will I need permission from the council in Tile Hill?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Tile Hill is provided by Coventry City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
